Their conversation explores how sacred spaces are being reimagined amid rapid technological change, alongside broader questions of authorship, agency, and bias in architectural imagination. They also discuss AI literacy and pedagogy, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence within architectural practice and education.

Dr. Mansour is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at CU Boulder whose work sits at the intersection of architecture, spirituality, digital media, and AI. A former research fellow at the Princeton Center for Theological Inquiry, she has published widely across disciplines and is currently editing Religion and AI: Theoretical and Empirical Approaches, forthcoming with Bloomsbury.
